The Most Played Popular Games On Facebook

Applications on
Facebook come in many forms, From those annoying friend questions and
trowing virtual sheep at your friends to useful study aids for
students.Perhaps the most popular applications for the casual Facebook
user are games, and their is a never ending list of Facebook games
growing every day.

Although it can get on your nerves having
friends request your help to "Buy a cow for their farm" or "Complete a
hit for their mafia family" some of the better Facebook games are
actually not a bad way to pass away some spare time.So in this article
we will look at some of the most popular games on Facebook as well as
some of the up and coming games.

The Big Three Facebook Games

Lets first look at the three largest games on Facebook at the moment.

Farm
Ville On Facebook

Amazingly and for a reason beyond my concept
their is now over 75 Million Facebook users playing Farm Ville ! Farm
Ville is one of the Zynga creations and most of it's popularity comes
from it's easy play and interaction between players / friends.

Scarcely
have i checked out my Facebook homepage were i haven't been offered a
"Tommy Gun" with an invitation to join Mafia Wars.Another Zynga creation
Mafia wars like its counterpart Farm Ville are quiet similar (Apart
from the obvious difference of minding sheep and taking out rouge family
members) both use the interaction between friends to make the game
viral and although Mafia Wars is slightly more advanced the game play is
still rather simple.

It's
about now you will start to see a trend as the most popular Poker
application on Facebook is Zynga Poker.And indeed in the same vein as
the two previous entry's Zynga poker lets you get take on your friends
in games or enter larger games with players from all over the world.

When it comes to playing the old favorites along
with some new versions of arcade games on Facebook two names come to
mind.MindJolt Games and Mesmo Games.

MindJolt Games On Facebook

Mindjolt
offer every conceivable type or arcade and classic online game
imaginable along with mind games and quizzes.Such "Classics" as Bouncing
Balls and Crazy Taxi can be found among their inventory.

Mesmo
games has many similarities to Mindjolt although they do offer more
casino type games and games based on T.V. shows such as Deal Or No
Deal.You can also compare scores with your friends on individual games
and collectively across all games.

While
i am tempted by the lure of looking after a virtual farm the two games i
play most on Facebook are Brain Buddy's and Scrabble.Brain Buddy's is a
highly addictive I.Q. test type game that will generate the "Weight of
your brain" and of course you get to compare your brain weight of your
brain against your friends.You can find the Brain
Buddy's Facebook page here.Scrabble needs no introduction and is a
great way to put down an hour in the evening (be warned it will take at
least 30 minutes to complete a game).Their is a number of Scrabble
applications available on Facebook and because of the differences
between spellings in America and other English speaking country's they
are country specific.Simply use the search bar on your facebook page to
find the one that best suits you.

That should be enough games and
applications to keep you busy for the foreseeable future.To make
